We Can Do It - YES WE CAN!

Rosie the Riveter

"The 'Rosie the Riveter' movement" increased the number of working American women to 20 million by 1944. Although the image of 'Rosie the Riveter' reflected the industrial work of welders and riveters during World War II, the majority of working women filled non-factory positions in every sector of the economy. What unified the experiences of these women was that they proved to themselves (and the country) that they could do any job and could do it well.Remember that we all have the strength, resilience and perseverance to accomplish whatever THING we put our minds and hands to and Rosie the Riveter is just a small reminder that women before us taught us by their examples and showed us how we could demonstrate our strength for the world to see but most importantly that we remember that we can. Will you step out on what you believe in? Remember your worth! We Are Woman!

I could get use to this! Oh and I threw in information about the book also - what a deal!!

The Book Reader's Comment

I read the book in two days. It was wonderful and well written. You hit the nail on the head as the saying goes. Many of us forget our true value and self worth as Women. We always forget ourselves because we constantly put the world ahead. It made me feel much better and appreciated for being the Woman that I am. All Women are Super Heroes! Due to our busy lives, we often forget or are preoccupied, that we forget God is our source of energy, survival, love, patience, strength, etc. I enjoyed the book and have given it to my daughters who are now Women. Wow! I look forward to reading all your materials.

It is also great that part of the proceeds go to an excellent cause. Many Single Mothers need an outlet of support. It feels great to know that someone cares, we are appreciated and there is always some form of assistance available.

Thank you for your wisdom and time as far as writing this book. You are like the Guiding Big Sister so many of us need!!!

How Do We See Our Today?

Our today always looks better than our yesterday.

If we are reading this - we are still seeing. If we have heard the commerical on this blog - we are still hearing. If we are replying to this - we still have use of our hands. If we are pondering this - we still have use of our thoughts.

We are still here! Today is still better than our yesterday, no matter what yesterday held.

Enjoy today.
